Lieut. Crosby with the Pinola, and Lieut. Caldwell with the Itasca, were detailed on April 20th for a night expedition to break the chain which was supposed to extend from shore to shore below the forts. U. S. Flag-ship Hartford. The charge of this expedition was given to Captain Belliota. Farragut's first intention, to place the heavy ships in the van, would probably have resulted in the immediate crushing of the enemy, and the rear of his line would have followed a beaten path. With the exception of the Itasca, Lieutenant Caldwell; the Winona, Lieutenant Nichols; and the Kennebec, Lieutenant Russell, the fleet succeeded in passing the forts The Itasca was much cut up, and having a shot through her boiler, was compelled to drop down the river, out of action, after

Lieutenant Caldwell, in the Itasca, dropped part of the chain obstruction to the bottom, and carried away more of it while going down the river. Two of the hulks dragged theiroods on the west bank. Twice had Farragut been compelled to postpone the advance up the river, but on the night of the 23d everything was in readiness; Lieutenant Caldwell, in a ten-oared boat, made another daring reconnaissance on the evening of the 23d, and reported that the way through the obstructions was clear.
